legislation in the senate, postponing any hopes of a comprehensive energy reform bill until after mid-term elections. senators maria cantwell and susan collins hope this will allow members to take another look at their bill, the carbon limits and energy for america's renewal act, or the clear act. not only do they believe their bill is a simpler alternative to cap-and-trade, but they say it will put money into the budgets of american families. i sat down with the bipartisan duo. they explained how their cap-and dividends bill differs from cap-and-trade. >> well, the key difference between our bill and cap-and-trade is that we don't create this huge new market that is ripe with manipulation and speculation and which will basically make wall street rich but not benefit american consumers. the second big difference between our bill and cap-and-trade, is we rebate 75% of the revenues to the american people. and that to me is the real strength of our bill. >> cap and trade is a market-driven system that sets a ceiling on global warming pollution while allowing companies to trade permits to meet

we hear from the president nothing but green energy, green jobs, everything green. hold on a minute, of course, we'd love to go green, love to stop global warming, love to get rid of dirty ways of making dirty energy and 30 transportation, but is a green future just around the corner? i am not so sure. the fact is, i have loved electra cars for many decades. i just wish we had a factory that could really deliver. the fact is, the lithium ion batteries are much better than the old ones, but not perfect. the new generation of cars with next year will be in the show room and you can buy one. you can buy one for summer between $25,000 and $35,000. a lot of tax breaks and credits encourage you to buy one, but be very careful. that may still not equal freedom from gasoline. 40 miles on electric and then at the gasoline engine comes on. this is not a hybrid. but it is encouraging because it is able to recharge as you go. the fourth focus -- the ford focused, among others, is not so good. they say that you can drive up to 100 miles on a charge. "up to," what does that mean?
